sram - Rams and DQ lines


I'm studying DRams and SRams at university and on the slides the lines where a data is read or written is called DQ. But whats does it means? Maybe D is for Data, but Q?



Answer



I think that the origin of the name comes from the convention for flip flops. On a D flipflop the data in pin is generally called D, and the data out pin, Q. Since the memories data bus is bidirectional, a data pin can be D when it is input or Q when it is output hence the name DQ.

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
